Welcome to the conversation. On 2b4theWorld.com we will be discussing all topics that relate to global sustainability.

            Sustainability: Living within the carrying capacity of Earth's                ecosystems to maintain humanity's coexistence with all living things.*

 
To live sustainably can be interpreted in many ways. Some believe it describes an abandonment of modernism by living with nothing more then what nature provides. Others believe that it is living in such a way that guarantees a viable environment for future generations. All could agree that in order for humanity to succeed, we must live within the boundaries of the earth's eco-systems. This is to say that our impact on our environment has to be such, that it does not disrupt the homeostasis and natural function of earth's ecology. When we look around at our modern world it is hard not to notice the pragmatical changes brought by industrialization. For generations, many believed that the by-products of "progress" was harmless and that the earth had the indefinite ability to maintain humanities necessities. Upon further investigation we now know this is false. We now know that our climate is driven in many ways by the balance of basic elements in the oceans and in the atmosphere. We have discovered that our food directly correlates to health care cost and developmental problems in children. And perhaps most importantly we know that if we can not halt or reverse our negative impacts on the earth, we as a whole will suffer the consequences.
